mosque
Minaret-topped worship hall
A mosque is a Muslim place of worship.
The building typically features a prayer hall oriented toward Mecca, often with a minaret—a tower from which the call to prayer is announced.
Muslims gather at mosques for daily prayers, Friday congregational worship, and religious education: The new mosque serves the growing Muslim community.
